I have an Asus x75V with the following specs

1tb hard drive brand new with fresh install
6gb ddr3
nvidia geforce 610M 1gb
intel core i5 2,5ghz

The temps are all around 40 degrees celcius. I installed software to adjust the fan to run at 100% all the time, and thems are still the same, but the laptop is faster.

Not sure what to do.

I had the same issue with my Dell xps l502x that I replaced with this laptop.
Those specs where
1tb hard drive
intel core i5 2.3ghz
6gb ddr3

Hi, and welcome to TSF, what software did you install and have you tried running chkdsk The How-To Geek Guide to Using Check Disk in Windows 7, 8, or 10

 

[doug212]

notebook fan speed, no I haven't. Seems to run faster with the fan spinning faster.

I 'am not familiar with that software do you have a link to it so I can take a look, Use this with the fan running normally and get a screen shot of the temps HWMONITOR | Softwares | CPUID

Hi, from what I can glean these laptops can run a bit hot, this is taken from a review on pc advisor The mobile processor and discrete graphics core aren't terribly cool, either: their top temperatures of 81°C and 79°C are the group's highest

Thats what I gathered too, just makes no sense that with the fan running faster temps don't really change, but the laptops are faster. Doesn't feel like hot air coming out the vents either, and the laptops don't feel hot to touch either. Just makes no sense to me.

If it working ok then perhaps the cooling is going towards keeping the hdd cooler, which may stress it less, this is just supposition of course.

 

[doug212]

Ok, is there any other ways to keep the hard drive cooler?

 

[joeten]

The only way to keep the laptop cooler is a cooling pad, I would look at no more than two fans and ensure they only blow near or into the intake vents, Amazon.co.uk: laptop cooling pad: Computers & Accessories
and it does not have to be an expensive one.
